3 Ways to Earn Back Your Static Caravan Investment

The steady rise in demand for staycations and mini breaks across the UK has sparked an increase in the number of static caravans for sale.

While second-hand and preloved static caravans are always available on the market in a plethora of sizes, formats, and finishes, the price remains a high investment for buyers. This begs the question, how can you maximise or even earn back your investment?

Without further ado, here are three ways that static caravan owners and buyers can earn back the money they spend, as both direct income and as a saving on other aspects of life.

1. Rent it out as a holiday home 

If you buy a static caravan to act as your own holiday home away from home, the chances are that you will locate it on a site that’s suitable for mini breaks and holidays away – perhaps near a beach resort or tourist hotspot.

This not only makes your caravan perfect for your own trips but also allows it to be rented out to other families and visitors when you are not using it yourself.

Whether you opt for a long-term rental period or short-term lets via a site like Airbnb, is up to you and will depend on how you balance renting your caravan with using it yourself. Either way, making your static caravan an available site to rent will help you bring in some income during the times when you are not visiting it yourself.

2. Use it as an extension to your home/property

More and more buyers are choosing static caravans as a way of bringing a new self-contained guest house onto their property. A great option for an extension without the need for planning and extensive building work, installing a static caravan on your property offers a self-sufficient place for guests to stay, or can help you create a rental opportunity within your home.

This is a particularly good option for those who live in cities or within popular commuter hotspots, enabling them to turn a static caravan into a tenant opportunity for someone who needs a place to stay long or short-term.

3. Turn it into an office to use or rent out 

Finally, what better way to build a home office with its own mini kitchen, bathroom, and built-in facilities, than with a static caravan?!

Again, this can be used yourself to remove the need for expensive conversions and extensions – not to mention the need to pay for office space – or can act as a business tenant opportunity on your land.

Whatever you choose to do with your static caravan, the investment and income potential is huge and incredibly varied. We hope this helps and inspires you to think outside the box when purchasing!
